Why Doesn't Kobe Have Any Signature Playoff Moments?

[KingMichael23]

NO ONE REMEMBERS THAT SHIT.

I remember that quite clearly.

[KingLeBronJames]

Kobe destroying the Spurs in '01 '02, '04 and '08 comes to mind.

[SilkkTheShocker]

His Moses Malone like statpadding on the boards in game 7 2010 was legendary

Most of those were probably his own misses

[Segatti]

Game winner against the Suns in 06 is quite memorable

NO. No it's not.

[Sarcastic]

The double air ball game vs the Jazz.

[gengiskhan]

Game winner against the Suns in 06 is quite memorable

memorable is very different from "LEGENDARY", "ICONIC", "SIGNATURE"

1991 MJ "CIRCUS SHOT" in the finals

"The Shot" 1989: Iconic, signature

the reality is Kobe, lebron, wade, shaq, duncan have lesser MEMORABLE moments like Miller, Stockton, Horry etc etc.

Non of them have "ICONIC, SIGNATURE" moments like MJ (too many to count), Magic (hook shot at Boston Gardens), Bird (series winning steal vs pistons )

[Cherry Picker]

People only remember the Sun shots in 06 because they were used in comparison videos for NBA 2K7. Also his team lost the series.

[Magic 32]

Most of those were probably his own misses

This thread sure backfired on you didn't it?

Its not just this.

modern day kobe fans & LAL fans try too hard to make ICON out of Kobe which he is not.

Infact, none of kobe shytte in playoffs is really memorable enough. Its like what charles did. It was great stuff but its like who cares.

Kobe is a great player. He is just not in the league of MJ, Magic, Bird

& that is a fact!.come to think of it, neither is LBJ despite that memorable 48 pts playoff game 5 at the palace against Pistons that put CAVS into NBA Finals.

Its great stuff BUT not SIGNATURE ICONIC.

Every time somebody brings one up all the haters just go " oh nope doesn't count"

Exactly

How is scoring 28 points in the finals (8 points in OT) at the age of 21 with a bum ankle not a signature moment?

[catquickspider]

nobody will remember lebron's game from last year 10 years from now

even his game 5 against the pistons in 2007 has been long forgotten now

I remember the hyperbole back then being similar to last year's game. "BEST PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME" and all that BS.

[Heavincent]

People in this thread are bringing up games like Kobe's game 1 vs. the Magic. That was memorable? It was like a 30 point blowout vs. a team they were clearly better then.

Okay then, I guess Lebron's game 6 performance against the Celtics wasn't memorable. You know, because it was a blowout and the Heat were clearly better than the Celtics.

But seriously, why do you think it was a blowout? Because Kobe raped them for 3 quarters and didn't even have to play in the 4th. That's kind of the point of superstars going off. To bury teams quickly.
